Now that the explosions of yellow are about done from the kōwhai trees, it's time for natural fireworks from our tī kōuka NZ cabbage trees.

"It is basically a cold climate sugar cane tree and it used to be tended in groves."
"Have a taste and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how delicious it is. Anyone who has gnawed on a hunk of sugar cane in the tropics will recognise the flavour."
